NAME

       CosTime_TIO - This module implements the OMG CosTime::TIO interface.

DESCRIPTION

       To get access to the record definitions for the structures use:
       -include_lib("cosTime/include/*.hrl").

EXPORTS

       '_get_time_interval'(TIO) -> TimeInterval

              Types:

                 TIO = #objref
                 TimeInterval = #'TimeBase_IntervalT{lower_bound, upper_bound}
                 lower_bound = upper_bound = ulonglong

              This operation returns the interval associated with the target object.

       spans(TIO, UTO) -> Reply

              Types:

                 TIO = UTO = OtherTIO = #objref
                 Reply = {OverlapType, OtherTIO}
                 OverlapType = 'OTContainer' | 'OTContained' | 'OTOverlap' | 'OTNoOverlap'

              This  operation  returns  a OverlapType depending on how the interval in the target object and the
              timerange represented by the UTO object overlap. If  the  OverlapType  is  'OTNoOverlap'  the  out
              parameter  represents  the gap between the two intervals. If OverlapType is one of the others, the
              out parameter represents the overlap interval. The definitions of the OverlapType's are:

                * 'OTContainer' - target objects lower and upper limits are, respectively, less or equal to  and
                  greater or equal to given object's.

                * 'OTContained'  -  target objects lower and upper limits are, respectively, greater or equal to
                  and less or equal to given object's.

                * 'OTOverlap' - target objects interval overlap given object's.

                * 'OTNoOverlap' - target objects interval do not overlap given object's.

       overlaps(TIO, OtherTIO) -> Reply

              Types:

                 TIO = OtherTIO = AnotherTIO = #objref
                 Reply = {OverlapType, AnotherTIO}
                 OverlapType = 'OTContainer' | 'OTContained' | 'OTOverlap' | 'OTNoOverlap'

              This operation returns a OverlapType depending on how the interval in the target  object  and  the
              timerange represented by the TIO object overlap. The OverlapType's are described under spans/2.

       time(TIO) -> UTO

              Types:

                 TIO = UTO = #objref

              This  operation  returns a UTO in which the interval equals the time interval in the target object
              and time value is the midpoint of the interval.
